Population

Upon first look, you would think that there were a lot of good artists on the site, unfortunately since y!Gallery is made up of billions of 16 year old girls, Kingdom Hearts fanbois, and pedophiles, most of the content on the site is shit art, or shit fanfiction, mostly consisting of bishonen. Since there are no actual adults on the site, you are stuck with the 13-year-olds who constantly rub one out to their own shitty fiction, and the 16-year-olds who finger themselves to their Sora/Riku pictures. Most of the users have migrated either from Sheezyart or deviantART due to the DO NOT WANT status of pr0nz on those sites. Anyone who actually is over the age of 18 submits inflation art and shitty poser renders of child rape.

Art

All pictures and fiction on y!Gallery suck. The art is all badly drawn, especially the cocks, though the artists all think they're the best artists evar.
However, since Y!Gallery is mostly 16-year-old girls, the art available is almost exclusively one of the following:

They also flip their shit if you try to post art drawn on lined paper BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO GOOD FOR LINED PAPER.

User Types

There are several user groups on y!Gallery, the tightly knit groups stick together, defending one another in the pursuance of good yaoi art. Much like DeviantART, anyone who can actually draw will quickly develop a fuckton of fans who will defend them to the death regardless of any rulebreaking they might do*.

Nazis

The Nazis are the various moderators, supermoderators, and the administrator on y!Gallery. They have teh banhammer, and they love to use it when they are not sucking each others dicks.

the true face of Snover

Snover is the Co-founder and head administrator of Y!Gallery. While it is rumored that he is actually a reincarnation of Hitler, he's really just another 16 year old female sonic furry who loves the uncircumcised penis. While Snover seems to run his site quietly there is the occasional moment where some whiny emofaghag has a sore brush with him. He has no problem wielding his all mighty Banahammer or telling someone that WHO CARES IF THEIR AUNT JUST DIED!!. It's also very clear that he doesn't give two shits about the users. Even if a whole bunch of people disagree with him, he'll insist he's right and tell them to fuck off. Rumor stipulates that Snover is a btard, or at least an EDiot and in fact, only runs y!Gallery so that he may milk the lulz out of it.

It's hard these days with PETA getting angry at me for painting hedgehogs blue.

Despite my prominent stature as a curator of a mostly-smut art gallery, I still feel extremely embarrassed saying things like 'Sonic is standing with a huge erection while Knuckles stands behind him fucking him in the ass and using his left hand to masturbate him until he comes'.

Sianne - Supermod who bans the fuck out of children and tracers because she can't fucking draw. LOL CORRECTION: She's a fucking thief Banhappy /b/ who took over as the new Head Nazi and robbed the site. Fuhrer Snover and his Nazi troops are hunting her ass down and giving her a shitfaced beating with furfags.

Sennet - Only was a mod for four months and then got kicked off for being too much of a cunt

Jahi/4444 - Fag user who used to be developer.LOL REHIRED! Probably because Snover is too busy fapping to actually write any code. Has deleted and restored his gallery over 9000 times in the history of his account, and is close to becoming an hero over the next "issue", whatever it is. Was kicked off the administration team for being a faggot. LOL QUIT!! AGAIN!

Furries

In 2006, y!Gallery was populated by a large amount of furfags, submitting ridiculously large amounts of gay furry porn onto the site. Being typical furries, they also didn't give a fuck about anyone else on the site, and every time one got banned, they screamed fursecution. Furry art was banned during the Great Furry Banning of Summer 2006, resulting in much wank from the furries, and much screaming of persecution, resulting in the furries being told that they don't own y!Gallery.

Fansheep

y!Gallery, just like any other site where users can place comments, journals, etc. is full of it's share of wank-generating fansheep. Luckily y!Gallery's strict banhammer policy cuts down on wank, and adds to the lulz when it happens. Most are of the opinion that good artists don't need to follow any rules, lol.

Nazi Oppression

Since y!Gallery moderation staff actually REMOVES works that violate their own rules or pseudo artistic sense, it creates much butthurt in the general user base. Most famous is y!Gallery's sixth commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Copypasta" written in the great book of y! circa 281 BC. Though their magical abuse control system, powered by vodka and pot, they have removed over 9000 tracings from the site. While uneventful, art theft bannings are controversial due to the troll-like insults that the head Nazis put as the ban reason. The moar controversial bannings take place when users have their tracings removed from y!Gallery. Being 15 year olds fresh from DeviantART, they are unfamiliar with a site that actually removes violations. After a short shit fit, followed by a short-lived campaign to OVERTHROW THE OPPRESSIVE ADMINZ!11!ONE!1!, the users are banned. However, like anonymous 12 more of their fansheep will take their place. It is commonly believed that the y!Gallery administration have replaced their web-based banning system to a whack-a-mole machine hooked into the server, leaving them more time to blow each other.

Just shows how creative they can be.

Death of Furries (a.k.a yiff in hell furfags)

In a change to their ToS the y!Gallery admins decided that any anthropomorphic art submissions are no longer allowed, after it was noticed that furries were taking over the site and Snover wanted moar furries for his personal collection. This resulted in fits of lulz and cries of fursecution from butthurtfurries

haha!!1 I was banned for, quote, "being retarded." But the chance for epic lulz was to much to pass up.

“

Unfortunately, the yaoi community, the portion of the population that this site was geared toward, has now become a minority. While the interest of the anthropomorphic community has been flattering and there are many amazing and talented artists specializing in this genre on the site, it's simply never been the focus of y!Gallery or its predecessor, y!hosting

Following this outburst of lulz was an orgasm of furry proportions in which journals were posted everywhere and long impassioned comments were posted on the original news article. If it weren't furries posting journals and whining this would be considered epic. And where they had the sense to ban furries Y!Gallery still sees fit to allow shota, rape, drugs, mpreg, and all your other sick fuck needs. Fuck loads of bannings? Mission accomplished.

UPDATE: As of August 9, 2008, and following the death/rebirth of FA for the seventy eighth time Snover decided to create a poll asking the general public whether the furfags should be allowed back. Unsurprisingly, the majority voted "NO". Four days later, however, an influx of furry sockpuppetry has changed the vote to a resounding "YES"

While furries are celebrating, many others are bitching about them coming back, despite the fact that they have the option to filter out the furfags.

Death of Y!Gallery

On July 1st, 2009, the new admin Sianne decided to do a donation drive. This donation drive was to "raise funds" because "LOL WE SUCK COCKS" and Snover left them broke. Suddenly in September all the furfags had to run back to Fur Affinity and the rest of the pedophiles and fansheep were left to cry, whine, bitch, moan and complain on FuckMyFace because they couldn't look at badly drawn porn of child molestation and gay Kingdom Hearts art. Sianne then came out to say she lost her wallet and couldn't pay for September so the resigned Fuhrer had to come in and pay so that people would fuck Snover again.

Then everyone was happy. DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS.

Sianne disappeared off the face of the earth and took a bunch of money out of the site's accounts, says Snover, as he re-assumed the position to be buttfucked against the wall. The scamming Nazi is being hunted down and fucked with dog dicks until she coughs up the money and Snover is looking for a new Fuhrer so he won't be butthurt anymore.
